Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

No way it's only 13%.
In Canada they were clearly trying to fake sales to steal tax credits from the government. Canada froze their funds and told them to fuck off. The U.S. won't stop Musk from faking sales to make it look better than it is. Guaranteed Musk is up to some fuckery.
Q3 2025: Americans buy over 900 million cybertrucks.
I assume that's in the US only. The sames drop in Europe is far worse (40 to 80% depending on country) because they are less receptive to fascists than the US.
Emphasis: globally
Edit: also note, "Tesla reported". I wouldn't trust them to be giving accurate numbers, so it's actually probably a lot worse.
There's no way those numbers are real: https://apnews.com/article/tesla-sales-recall-trump-byd-b6f5da15be491d16e3020598e3ddf861
Canadian sales are fabricated and they are down in China too as BYD eat their lunch. Where else would the shortfall come from?
I thought I remember reading that UK numbers went up. But I wonder if that's a situation like the Canadian "sales" they had recently...
The Canadian "sales" where three Tesla dealerships each averaged one car sold for every single minute during a three-day weekend? No, that was totally legit.

They've gone up, but it looks like it might be to get ahead of the April tax on cars over £40k. We might see a reduction in sales April onwards, and as the article points out the sales increase is below that of other brands.
Still not ideal though.
That would make more sense
Never underestimate political apathy.
This is a company that is now immune to any federal investigation. Worth keeping that in mind when going over their numbers.
